For those who love design by Christian Stoll

With an overload of lifestyle imagery in advertising these days, sometimes it is the more interesting approach to focus on the product. BRANSCH artist Christian Stoll’s vision for this recent personal project was to focus on high end consumer products that get purchased by those consumers that simply love design.

In this still life series, Christian put a high end camera on a pedestal, showcasing its features on evershifting planes, but our eye is drawn to the camera alone, like an irresistable gem.

Who needs models and locations? The product is the hero. A piece of art in itself.

GROSSARTIG: a film by June-Louis

BRANSCH artistic duo June-Louis have created a video that is quite a page-turner!

In conjunction with the publication of GROSSARTIG, a new quarterly large-format magazine devoted to photography, illustration and design, June-Louis have animated the experience of flipping through GROSSARTIG in a playful way, sometimes using actions inspired by the images on the page.

The right person for the right job by Petrus Olsson

King, a Stockholm agency, thought BRANSCH artist Petrus Olsson was the right person to act as creative director and director of photography for a campaign for Poolia, an international staffing company in Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Germany and Great Britain.

Working in tight cooperation with retouching agency C2, Petrus oversaw the images depicting famous examples in which history might have changed if the right person was chosen for the job: Leaning Tower of Pisa’s flawed foundation, the sinking of the Swedish warship Wasa on its maiden voyage, the fall of Troy by allowing the Greek “Wooden Horse” inside the city walls.

Hara Katsiki solo show debut tomorrow 9/22 at West Berlin Gallery

BRANSCH artist Hara Katsiki will debut her latest work tomorrow in her very first solo show entitled, “Utopia” at the West Berlin Gallery.

This exhibition gives viewers a sneak peak into Hara’s fantastically romantic inner dream world. Always keen to experiment, this daring artist transcends the boundaries of imagination. Using her dreams as the main source of inspiration, Katsiki was inclined to define/refine her work for this show by using three primary colors: black, white and gold. Hara is also using ink on paper and wood, creating abstract pieces reminiscent of what she
describes as “nature’s unspoken beauty”.

The show at West Berlin Gallery will feature 33 pieces ranging from black and white paper, to works on wood, as well as drawings on printed fashion photographs. The exhibition will also showcase an installation that is bound to be the highlight of the show!
